Default Re: What if you replaced all cones with rods?

Wouldn't this also grant a level or two of telescopic vision? I always understood that the primary reason eagles had such good distance vision was that they had dense rods in the forward-looking portion of their eyes. You're effectively doing the same thing to the human. I couldn't say anything about specifics, just memories of junior-high science.
